    That’s a straw man, as I never argued that there were no western influences.

    It’s at best naive to think that only western influences led to atrocities, though.

      Oh I’m not saying, “only”. For example, the only, “democracy” in the Middle East - Israel, apparently is funding the killing of Armenian Christians.

      Sea wat I did thar?

        What you did there is derail the conversation from the fact that you claimed that “The West” is the only source of misery.

        You’re a troll and I won’t engage further.

          Technically, Western democracy. Pay attention to all the nations that are currently turning their backs on the U.S. and joining BRICS. Had the U.S., alone, not meddle with other nations, the U.S. wouldn’t be losing the petrodollar at this moment and wouldn’t be losing all the nations that have invested into the dollar. Now in the next 10 or so years… well, guess we’ll have to see the turnout. I can’t even speculate because it’s over my head.
